slower fireate with more recoil but bigger mag

choose your flavor

[warm narwhal]

YOO LOOOOT

[shy bramble]

push them back?

i often do that quest when i just wanna feel like a spec ops sniper lol. perch in that window overlooking the bridge. pop pop pop headshots and piles of bodies galore

[mental furnace]

aek is better always then groza storm

[analog palm]

i prefer aek yea

balanced recoil go brrrr

especially the 762 version lol

[hushed pier]

hey i cant send files like crashlogs did i get restrictions or something

[analog palm]

mmmm bomb

[valid silo]

the rof is not that far apart and double mag size is pretty huge

the only thing the aek has over groza is suppressor

[junior delta]

i have dynamic faction relations on and somehow my faction managed to piss off the eggheads

now we are at war

[valid silo]

mercs?

[junior delta]

weed smokers, not greedy men

[shy bramble]

god damn 2nd playthrough 0.9.5 again 1st yellow stash north has expert tools

[warm narwhal]

Peak

[frigid gyro]

not that i doubt you ... but the constant explosions are quite annoying i must say

[warm narwhal]

I am enjoying early game still

[analog palm]

are you sure

[junior delta]

oh wait fuck it might be a bit of a problem since i havent done mm nor bs yet

[warm narwhal]

I do wish early game could last forever

also holy RPM

[junior delta]

will i have to find a egghead disguise?

[junior delta]

it takes a little more than a second for you to empty your mag

holy

[valid silo]

what the hell is a ssu rank lol

I know it's the tippy top mil but

can that even naturally occur

[junior delta]

degtyarev or whatever that is

operation afterglow i think but not sure

[small dune]

this new revolver shotgun aint bad. i like it

[livid hazel]

Who sells the silencer adapter for K98 Forester?

Is it the man himself

[small dune]

hmm i thought mercs sold a forester upgrade kit

[valid silo]

you can check that too on the database it has all the merchants inventories

[fringe knoll]

hey, what are chimical anomalies, isnt it the green ground with gaz ?

[valid silo]

should be all nato dealers

[livid hazel]

Ah I wasn't seeing it on the item page. I will look elsewhere, my bad

[valid silo]

nah it's understandable the database is useful but not always intuitive

[livid hazel]

I'm also using it on mobile kek

[frigid gyro]

which one?

[livid hazel]

Yep nato dealers, thanks

[lethal patrol]

[graceful marsh]

I swear to god snorks have worse hitboxes than enemies in ds2 when you have low adp

[valid silo]

any way to fix this lol

[small dune]

the one with a long barrel and a cylinder that pops out the side just like a revolver. uses the smaller shotgun shells

a coupl patches ago they added a pump shotty for the small shotgun shells and it became the best in class for that ammo type. this thing doesnt shoot quite as fast i think, but is more accurate

[valid silo]

I need to go buy a lottery ticket this was first gold stash in north lmao

[livid hazel]

Jupiter?

[valid silo]

yup

[lethal patrol]

holy shit finally, the last part i needed to fix up the ak

[analog palm]

ok so

i really need a big main hideout

to put all this stuff

yeah dont ask

[drowsy plume]

I envy and pitty you at the same time 😄

[analog palm]

i was thinking of like leaving a few in each map but not every map has a nice hideout place

[gilded tundra]

even npcs in gamma are cheating

[valid silo]

thinking about it this is the first time I've got expert tools before the exo book

[analog palm]

hmmmm

what if i like

put a family of rifles in each location?

like ar15 style rifles in AW

9x39 in great swamps

[shy bramble]

Is it just me or does that video last 0 seconds lol

[spice pilot]

works on my machine

[shy bramble]

weird

this is for me lool

[gilded tundra]

tldr out of bounds npc killed me through folliage

[drowsy plume]

Maybe even mix the families and then throw a dice for what gun you gonna play on that map? You know, more variety 😄

[spice pilot]

oh yeah high ranking fuckers with the Ash-12 will oneshot you through bushes, very fun

[valid silo]

if your faction isn't on this list it's TRASH

shak-12 btw

[shy bramble]

im in AW and some random shots come flying in (riccochet?) and some dude gets hit and goes "ow, what the fuck?!"

LOL

[thick wharf]

how do i edit the weapon hud while keeping it in ads?

[still silo]

does anyone have an issue with waypoints? RMB click won't allow me to place waypoints, is there a fix?

[sacred crow]

Hi guys, I'm installing Gamma from 0. Do I still need to do something with the new launcher or the files in the installation guide already include everything important for 0.9.5? Thanks!

[shy bramble]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1092852637847789699

[left cove]

Anyone know where the file is for the list of items you can spawn with so i can edit it ?

[stiff sail]

what is the bar at the bottom?

[fringe knoll]

is the M4A1 a good weapon ?

[errant dragon]

Your cover from emissions/psy storms

Basically if you can see it, youre not safe

[sacred crow]

There is no info on the new launcher on the installation guide. My question was pretty straightforward, so if you cared enough to send me the link to the guide for no reason, then maybe you would care to just answer my question - I don't demand anything more.

[hybrid cobalt]

woops 😏

[near estuary]

it's a C kit AR, of course it's good

[errant dragon]

it's a 5.56 that goes pew pew. It works

[split skiff]

i change my pov to 100 but my equipment feel so close to me, for example i can't see all the number on this instrument. i have this pb only on the 9.5, never before

[gaunt shuttle]

CTD during a barrier mission

[fringe knoll]

pew pew

[near estuary]

yeah that fits

[errant dragon]

Change hud pov

Goober

[gaunt shuttle]

oh, wait.. i changed the spawns for zombies a little

perhaps there were to meany

[shy bramble]

there is no info on it during the install process because you dont need to do it. downloading a new launcher version is for people who are updating from an older version of gamma

[split skiff]

oooo thank you ! but why i have to change it, never touch before ?

[errant dragon]

[sacred crow]

That's all I needed to hear, thanks.

[left cove]

what and where do i get that Game timer in the top left?

[shy bramble]

next time use https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1029824156289732649 for stuff like that, its more suited for it

[lethal patrol]

ay, found hip shotty

[shy bramble]

dat green barrel tho

[gilded tundra]

ngl I got tired of army warehouses giving stashes to garbage

[sacred crow]

Imagine I already did use the newbies chat, but got no response there, so I asked here

[livid niche]

i got expert tools finally

[thick wharf]

run timer

mod

[lethal patrol]

i started a new run after my mono run

[shy bramble]

Then keep asking till someone answers you. not trying to be rude here. thats a genuine tip

[fringe knoll]

uhm guys, why is there a message syaing theres a psy strom coming in one day, what do i do??

[gaunt shuttle]

nothing and carry on till the next day

and just be shure to be near shelter when it comes

[shy bramble]

be prepared to find cover around the time the message said it would happen

[sacred crow]

And I genuinely thought it would be better to ask once on different channels rather than spam the question on only one of them. You replied instantly so it worked for me. But thank you for the tip.

[fringe knoll]

how i know if a place is a shelter

[near estuary]

usually indoors

[shy bramble]

i understand your reasoning. in the future just ask repeatedly in the appropriate channels. 👍

[fringe knoll]

what

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/533454414912946176/975786444847186010/image0.gif

[near estuary]

yeah like that

[fringe knoll]

😭

[gaunt shuttle]

if its a building then it should be fine (best option)
if there isnt try some places that are similar theres a bar at the bottom middle that shows how effectife the shelter is

[near estuary]

has bro never experienced weather irl

[fringe knoll]

plz tell me where are shelters, im on a ironman run, i dont wanna die

[fringe knoll]

hm

does the dead city building works as a shelter?

[near estuary]

there's a literal option in the Events tab that marks safe places

[gaunt shuttle]

.. yea

[fringe knoll]

where

[shy bramble]

anything that would stop rain from falling on you is my rule of thumb, plus there is a bar that fills up that tells you when you are fully covered

[gaunt shuttle]

every apartment bulding and such..

[near estuary]

in settings -> Zone

[fringe knoll]

the psy storm is radio actif rain dropping on my ass?

[shy bramble]

I am confused

[near estuary]

my man

[gaunt shuttle]

yea the mini map will show you the nearest shelter

[near estuary]

what do you think a PSY storm does

holy shit

[fringe knoll]

when the shit storm will come ?

[gaunt shuttle]

overides anything else you might have going on

[lethal patrol]

idk, teach me gangnam style?

[near estuary]

I wish

[gaunt shuttle]

yea

[fringe knoll]

a psy coming to make my life better

[near estuary]

obama gangnam styl

[fringe knoll]

btw, i have to kill people, but these are loners in a big squad, should i stalk them until they get in fight with other guys?

[gritty wasp]

that feeling when all the fetch tasks in jupiter are doable

god I hate these sorts of mods
"UM I CAN'T SEE HER LIPS, PLUMP LASHES, and BLUSHED CHEEKS"

didn't heavy armor repair use to require expert tools?

[cloud turret]

which mod?

also i JUST realised your hud is ump45

[valid silo]

like for the series of EVERY PROTAG HAS A RECEDING HAIR LINE can we just have women who would be out of place at a fashion show

[celest lodge]

you're looking at it the wrong way, the protags should instead have chiseled chins and luscious hair to match

[near estuary]

Scar is leaning more into GILF territory but he still mogs

[valid silo]

I'll admit that but that hip pisses me off

the only truly ugly protag is Strelok imo

does shotgun has a long range damage ?

[valid silo]

wdym

[near estuary]

WHAT DO YOU THINK

[valid silo]

there's slugs

[near estuary]

A SHOTGUN

[quick tangle]

all of shotgun rounds had heavy damage/BR fall off in the past, not sure about now. Even the AP slugs, afaik.

[near estuary]

bro gonna ask "are sniper rifles good for sniping" next

[valid silo]

shot isn't inherently inaccurate

[fringe knoll]

kiss me

[near estuary]

i guess bro

[lethal patrol]

please ask in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat bro

[near estuary]

yeah wtf is this

[near estuary]

istg

where is that from

WHERE

[hybrid cobalt]

real life xd not games though

[quick tangle]

but yes, if you go AP slugs or Barricada, you can use it as a sniper of sorts.

[near estuary]

[hybrid cobalt]

I mean, some games have sniper shotties, like Battlefield is the most popular example

[valid silo]

max effective range of the tank sized cannister rounds is like 500m

[near estuary]

I'd honestly automod the word "realism" atp

[fringe knoll]

guys, whats "impact resistance" it reduce it on my artifact i just found

[near estuary]

protects you from grav anomalies, poltergeists throwing shit at you and pseudogiant stomps

[valid silo]

I mean there is literally saboted ammo in game so it isn't entirely inaccurate to say shotguns can be used at range

[fringe knoll]

oooh ok thanks dada

[near estuary]

you can use a PM at range

doesn't make it a long range gun

[hybrid cobalt]

technically pretty long range

[near estuary]

aaaaaaaaand he just quoted flavortext

yeah I'm out

see ya chaps

[hybrid cobalt]

oh cmon xD

[valid silo]

now that's hyperbolic lmao

[near estuary]

it can be parabolic for all I care

[shy bramble]

U can use a pb at range pussies

[near estuary]

I'm not telling a newbie shotguns are long range guns

[shy bramble]

i did BS with just a pm and 1 bullet and killed them all with headshots

[hybrid cobalt]

pog app

[fringe knoll]

also, how do i change the barrel from a gun ?

[valid silo]

I'd simply just couch it with slugs can be used at range <150m

[gaunt shuttle]

i got the CAR 15 and no joke it gets the delta force upgrade kit with this description xD

[valid silo]

you need the gun's tier repair kit

[fringe knoll]

fack

[valid silo]

which you need tools to craft or in the case of an A class you can buy from a technician

[fringe knoll]

does toolkit or repair kit degrades ?

when swapping parts it doesn't spend the charges of the repair kit

[lethal patrol]

actually insane that i keep getting this shit above rostok

[dire glade]

https://klipy.com/gifs/chopper-crying-1--k01KRY2B97DJPXFNVX3D1VZ3DNE

[valid silo]

tools are simply the catalyst for crafting and don't get expended unless they are part of a recipe explicitly

[shy bramble]

Extra gunsmithing is nice now for bullet parts. basic... eh. you can at least have lots to turn in to techs for ez money / rep

[fringe knoll]

oi

[drifting temple]

You can spend a charge of the kit to replace certain parts

Useful if you can't find the barrel of a gun in good condition

[shy bramble]

[drifting temple]

But usually it's a lateral move since by the time you grind enough for a kit you should have plenty of spare parts if you're a loot goblin

[drifting temple]

He getting bad booty shaking Zoneitis

[gilded tundra]

so far in the run stacking BR feels pointless or over-grindy

either you don't grind like a maniac to get arts for br cap and get one-two shotted even in a decent heavy armor
or you grind and get three shotted in a rapid succession

[lethal patrol]

not again lmao

[drifting temple]

At least you got a pair of lungs in a suitcase

That shit will go hard in the black market

[cloud turret]

amazing

[fringe knoll]

how is your invetory like this

im not fucking going there bro

[hybrid cobalt]

MY YELLOW STASH IN ROSTOK UNBUGGED
ITS ON AN NPC! lol!

[wild ivy]

Took your shit

[lavish delta]

did the new patch remove the small dot over interactable items?

[hybrid cobalt]

yeah ok he had nothing, but at least the yellow stash is gone now

[wicked depot]

I feel like something is wrong with the aliasing+ shadow of my grass, anyone would know what it would be ?

2k resolution and grass shadow High

[lethal patrol]

too much grass

[wicked depot]

its petty much default, I don't think its the issue

[livid hazel]

Default is a bit heavy on the grass

Try tweaking it just to see if it makes a difference

[wicked depot]

Yeah but even maxed grass its not suppose to look like that, something off

[hybrid cobalt]

merc HQ hasn't respawned any guys in literally 4 whole days, that's not normal is it?

[lethal patrol]

not sure if its still an issue but

if you killed all named npcs in dc, merc spawns are greatly reduced

for DC that is

[hybrid cobalt]

AH FUCK, yeah, okay, that's it..

but 4 WHOLE days? not even a single spawn? FML...

[lethal patrol]

gotta keep at least one named alive

preferably surgeon since dude doesnt have a weapon

[hybrid cobalt]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thats too late now.. aw damn, where can i farm mercs then ,_,

[quick tangle]

some perks of playing with maximum amount of mutant spawns. I haven't even been to red forest yet, let alone North.
that being said, it absolutely does feel like Gamma is running some kind of weird mutant spawn replacers. Instead of getting hordes of dogs, I'm getting vastly increased amounts of high level mutants in the south, notably Chimeras/Controllers.

[analog palm]

i wish scales werent so fucked up on these

[sick yoke]

stack both BR class (and BR mitigation) as well as br%

[gritty wasp]

me gunning them all down

[frosty palm]

I know people meme on the Deer Hunter now because of no pen but I just downed a pack of 4 chimeras at like 1000m range in Zaton with 8 shots.........shit is cracked

[lethal patrol]

theyre so fucking accurate god damn

[gritty wasp]

"just a light scratch"

[lethal patrol]

literally fast peeked me

[sick yoke]

getting about 65% for BR mitigation and br% and like, 56+ BR class gives you the equivalent of 88-89% damage reduction

[gritty wasp]

uh huh

spit yo shit

i totally understood how to get all that

[hybrid cobalt]

neat

[sick yoke]

yeah you have the equivalent of 85% damage reduction

against everything except 7.62x51 ap

[strange sphinx]

You can also disable MD5 hash check option if you are certain that all your mod archives are well and intact. Having the three options OFF / Unticked will make the launcher blazing fast, but it will only get the GAMMA updates, not the individual mods updates.
how do i know if they are intakt? xD

[hybrid cobalt]

enable md5 lol

[gilded tundra]

I do
pre-radar
this is: prebis BR heavy PSZ-10g Urban Battlesuit
and prebis heavy Sphere M12 Helmet
improved kev
boar pelt

results in: dying with no way to reset combat most of the time army warehouses and radar (one shot-two shot)
the only way to go better here would be appoc helmet, merc ace or merc urban exos and empty which in the sutiation with exosuits wouldn't just get to cap

oh and consumables yes

[sick yoke]

oh you're on 0.9.4 still

[sick yoke]

huh

[gilded tundra]

i lost color grading somewhere?

[sick yoke]

you're missing the BR mititgation stat in your ui

the screenshot above has it

[sick yoke]

this

[gilded tundra]

intresting

[sick yoke]

maybe some issue with custom ui mods but i wouldn't know

[hybrid cobalt]

i also use these two, i dont know if Cell is additive or multiplicative, but -15% bullet damage seems OP either way

and black angel, just 20% chance to completely ignore bullet damage? yeah please

[gilded tundra]

fq me right cell exists

[vivid ridge]

how do i fix permanently bright sky? I saved while the weather debug menu was paused and now even pressing the play button doesn't fix the sky

[sick yoke]

cell is multiplicative yeah

[lethal patrol]

ay found 2 balls, time to do MM

[hybrid cobalt]

before or after BR? @sick yoke

not that it matters i guess...

[sick yoke]

they're all multiplicative now so yeah doesn't really matter the order

[hybrid cobalt]

for Medal it would matter i guess, if medal is applied before any other damage reductions xD = insta dead companion possibly

[analog palm]

good enough

red forest hideout

even have an extra room

hm

[gritty wasp]

Nice time to snipe with expensive ammo

[night sigil]

They are not that far off scale wise from eachother, just small because the board is small

[lethal patrol]

MM time

[steel frost]

you can

[gilded tundra]

yeah the only thing i have is 449 (tweaks for widescreen) and turning it off doesn't make that stat appear
i'm honestly lost for whats going on

[sick yoke]

Isn't it strange that bro just stares at you while you're taking a fat nap?

It's why I build my base in that super obvious made for building spot in Rostok

I used to tuck it in that corner next to the mechanic

[errant dragon]

The classic spot

[rain crow]

I remember before base building where I just had to shove all my crap in like 20 backpacks

[livid hazel]

Ah yes, the old mutant arena

[errant dragon]

Ignore the blood

it's feng shui

or something

[livid hazel]

Yeah you need a lot of carpet tbh

But the location is so perfectly central

Red forest all the way

[nocturne veldt]

Im surpised nobody has made a remodel for the Chimera

it looks so ass

[frigid furnace]

Weird to see an empty melee slot

I usually just put anything in there cause why not

Even if it's a dogshit makarov

[still silo]

Does anyone know the exact damage reflection value for several Black Angel artifacts? 3 gives 49 as I know

Like you have so many cigarettes, a scientist suit when you are a stalker, you have an extra primary, no ibuprofen?, and so much extra stuff it’s like you don’t have a base

[rain crow]

I do have a base

[errant dragon]

Nosorogs can have 5 belt slots max, like normal exos, and the stat differences are marginal. also nosorogs are rarer than plain exos

[rain crow]

I'll see you in hell marked one

I'm pretty sure loot settings were just fucked at the start of 0.9.5

[gritty saddle]

Alright I've had enough waiting. What do I need to do inorder to update my game if I have the GoG install?

[rain crow]

Maybe another Gravi for the carry capacity

or something for BR

[rain crow]

#🖥️how-to-install

#💽how-to-update

[errant dragon]

that wont help him kek

[rain crow]

Is GOG still not updated?

[errant dragon]

nop

[rain crow]

Oh yeah sorry man

Go just do a manual install

Its superior anyways

[errant dragon]

also carry 3 guns max, nerd

4 is unnecessary

[rain crow]

The sniper is for long range, the smg is for CQC, the shotgun is for mutants, and the assault rifle is for everything else

[errant nebula]

spoke with friends today, and they asked interesting question, I never thought about that. Why no one like "updates" models for Sidorovich and some others too? we get like HD models ect but some of important npc are left out, wonder why

[errant dragon]

too much gun, too much weight

sniper/smg/shotgun

ak-5c not needed

veresk is a laser anyways

[analog palm]

just use shotgun

does everything

[errant dragon]

[analog palm]

yes including long range

[rain crow]

I'm tryna be immersed

I would carry different weapons for different roles

Not just use a meta game shotgun

[errant dragon]

idk why people have this idea of carrying a gun for every specific occasion, its not intended lmao

[rain crow]

Too bad, now look at it

https://tenor.com/view/look-at-it-gif-19108365

[errant dragon]

unnecessary dead weight, I'm airing out Pripyat rn with just a scar-h and a ksg23

[rain crow]

I used to use the KS23, but trying to switch it up

If every playthrough was the same... it wouldn't be fun

https://tenor.com/view/reggie-not-fun-why-fun-if-its-not-fun-gif-18524715

[errant dragon]

fair enough

[rain crow]

I just wish more bolt action snipers were viable

[errant dragon]

still dont need a 4th gun in inventory tho

[rain crow]

So sick of being a slave to the K98 and R700

[sick yoke]

Use a sniper for everything

[rain crow]

Nah, then you lose out on fire rate in CQC

Bolt actions are kinda known for not being good in CQC

[errant dragon]

[rain crow]

Thats kinda like

Their whole thing

[frigid furnace]

Who cares about meta? Viability? This is not a competition

[sick yoke]

Mutants? Dvl
Long range? R700/.338 lapua
Close range? Install an obrez mod

[frigid furnace]

You're fighting bots. It really doesn't matter

[sick yoke]

[analog palm]

so

got home in swamps

I'm not saying run meta gear, I just don't understand why people carry more than 3 guns lmao

[slender trail]

getting the zenit upgrade on the bad boy and slapping some sinners

[errant dragon]

then they wonder why they cant carry shit

[plush zenith]

im fat even with just my 3 guns, im a loot goblin tho

[errant dragon]

it do be kinda be like that tho

[errant dragon]

[wintry jackal]

Finally done ❤️

[valid silo]

I'm guessing military/agropom or cordon

[gritty wasp]

Ar/sniper, shotgun, emergency smg/pistol

[supple pebble]

whats the community favourite caliber for handling chimeras

kind of sick of punting 15 slugs into its hind legs

[errant dragon]

20g buckshot

[gaunt shuttle]

the hell, 2 clear sky dudes in rosdok

the uh, got ventelated

[errant dragon]

nah but fr, prob 23x75mm or 9x19 HP

[errant dragon]

also don't use slugs on mutants, use buckshot

this isnt stalker 2, goober

[supple pebble]

i felt like the slugs did more damage against the tougher mutants

especially with the hp bar enabled

[torn spruce]

im jealous of how big your monitor must be

[errant dragon]

it shouldn't, buckshot's for mutants, slugs for stalkers

[analog palm]

good enough

[slender trail]

does it scale differently on your end for discord?

i'm surprised you're able to tell

[analog palm]

that about gets rid of most of the guns

[supple pebble]

nvm about the same damage

[split vapor]

I'm at the train hangars with a spy I extracted and it is currently being attacked by six lurkers and a pseudo dog and all of the loners there are dead

[supple pebble]

tbh lurkers are piss easy if you can side step the jumps

they take two shells of buck to drop

[split vapor]

The spy keeps dying is the problem

[supple pebble]

rip

[slender trail]

this is also why chimera ai should be reworked

they're one of the least threatening "apex" mutants

[supple pebble]

i think its good enough mainly since they pose a huge problem if theres even 1-2 extra mutants in the pack

[errant dragon]

true

[slender trail]

meh, I would prefer it if they weren't or rarely were in packs in the first place, and rework their ai to be something like: do pounce > come in for regular charge (like dog or boar) > repeat. it would make it a bit more interesting gameplay wise and would be pretty fitting story wise since chimeras would be more likely to hunt alone

[clever snow]

have the guns been significantly nerfed since i last played or something because i'm finding that it takes several shots of 7.62x54 from a mosin to bring down the lowliest bandit goon wearing only a jacket

[remote horizon]

SPAS-12 vs MP-155?

[supple pebble]

Main issue for me with the apex predators is they tend to just be bullet sponges with underwhelming combat

[slender trail]

truth

[supple pebble]

Pseudogiant is just either run or plant explosive charges + plink it from a distance

[slender trail]

atleast we don't have s2 mutant hp

it takes less buckshot in gamma to kill a chimera than it does in s2 to kill a bloodsucker i swear

[supple pebble]

True

They're meat and bone for christ sake

[slender trail]

actually one cool example of a mutant having a special attack is the bloodsucker

but if you don't let them get around you you'll basically never see it

[supple pebble]

What's the special attack

[slender trail]

they latch onto you and basically suck your blood. you're paralyzed while the animation is going

[supple pebble]

Oh damn

Tbh i remember as a kid shitting my pants at the roar of a bloodsucker in the agroprom underground in soc

[errant dragon]

even if you do let them near you, they rarely do it

I've only have that attack happen to me once in all my saves

[supple pebble]

But haven't played much s2, combat felt so mid i just uninstalled after 2h

Also that npcs used to just lock onto you and fire through walls on release day

Dunno if its still the case

[slender trail]

last time I finished a playthrough of the game was like update 1.5 I think, and they were still pretty damn accurate

you'd find so many meds on base difficulty that it wouldn't matter at some point though

[supple pebble]

Is just the combat wasnt really dynamic, what i meant was like they tracked you through the wall so you couldn't flank and worm around

[slender trail]

yeah, it definitely needed work. still enjoyed the game overall though

[livid plover]

some of the worst balance i've ever seen in a game

[supple pebble]

Visuals S tier at least

[livid plover]

in terms of drops/usages. I was just dropping 50 at a time on the floor. Just to make it fair.

[supple pebble]

Did a good job capturing the atmopshere of the zone

[slender trail]

sad carry weight and stamina also didn't help

like my main gripe with stalker 2 actually

was the fact that stamina was so limited, and the map was so big

it just doesn't make sense

[lament lynx]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/s/e1fvTZufMp

[slender trail]

"i love soc but I hate the best combat segment"

[livid plover]

i don't think many systems were tested at all, felt like cookie cutter Unreal bits stuck together

visuals, vibe and environent were on point though

[slender trail]

totally agree

and the story was alright too

though tbf I don't think any of the stories from the trilogy are masterpieces either

i didn't really like the retcons to clear sky but whatever

[livid plover]

nah unless you are on their discord...

[cyan gull]

I dont think artigrok is working like its active i just dont think its doing anything

[livid plover]

the stories are always a little convoluted

[supple pebble]

Tbh tho i wonder what they were doing for so long in development time

Game was in dev since 2018

6 years

[shy bramble]

wtf does the sup kit even do for the mutant

[slender trail]

check out the stalker 2 build from 2011 before that project was canned. very interesting

[supple pebble]

It felt like they realise they fucked up and just threw something together in 2 years to get the title out

[azure canopy]

I updated from 9.4 to 9.5 version but ticked off zip and git boxes, will it backfire?

anyone know ;-;

[supple pebble]

Honestly looks great

Would've been a great 4th entry

[livid plover]

oh where do you see this on youtube?

[azure canopy]

agreed, I just can't vibe with the new stalker

[supple pebble]

https://youtu.be/_4iyMIQLaC8?si=DnuLTJa_zbBaahS-

[supple pebble]

I think just most UE games are soulless cash prints

Just stalker 2 at least grabbed the bag and invested it back into the game to make it better

[azure canopy]

You can make nice UE games, it's just that stalker 2 feels like an alternate universe stalker

[errant dragon]

Rock licker scared me

[supple pebble]

I always called stalker 2 a remake/retcon of the xray timeline

[errant dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker-clear-sky-clear-sky-monolith-monolith-exo-gif-13594799489985857333

[azure canopy]

I hate the new story

[slender trail]

well you were trespassing. isn't it rude to just walk in like that? knock first

[supple pebble]

I mean tbf most of the team that made the og stalker is gone

Some tried to bank on the stalker fandom with fear the wolves and survarium

But most after kinda dipped

[gaunt shuttle]

how come i lost all stamina after sleeping

[errant dragon]

just the way he rose up from below

[azure canopy]

OMG I remember when survarium came out

jesus did they fuck it up

[supple pebble]

Tbf on release it was a nifty game

Just didnt have much after

[azure canopy]

It's why I said they fucked it up

[supple pebble]

Fead of the wolves tho, colossal cash grab

[azure canopy]

I Still remember when I played on the bridge map and the industrial complex one

they promised PvE but lied and started selling lootboxes

[slender trail]

that combined with the fact that training a ton of new employees on an in-house engine is really expensive and time consuming, made it a no brainer for GSC to use UE5. not to mention they don't have to waste time baking it lighting since lumen just does it for them

[azure canopy]

still looks soulless to me

[slender trail]

i'm not defending the use of lumen/nanite, just saying it was basically bound to happen

[supple pebble]

Free 2 play is hard to pull off in general, its almost always predatory monetization practices for survival

[valid silo]

this is why the stealth kill thing to me is so dog shit lmao

[azure canopy]

PoE is an excellent example of good F2P

[crimson island]

anyone know if this particular package is just hiding in the miltary base or something?

[slender trail]

the game probably would've taken a couple extra years to release if they stuck with their engine

[errant dragon]

oh they knew I was there, Monolith ai is just weird at their base for whatever reason

[slender trail]

https://tenor.com/view/freaking-out-spongebob-gif-10948329

[wintry jackal]

Back to using KVMA

[errant dragon]

seriously though, some of them will dome me immediately, while others just walk right past me

i dont get it

[supple pebble]

Tbf tho the main issue is the idea you need battalions of game devs to make a high quality game. Og stalker had like 50 people while s2 was in the hundreds

[azure canopy]

I just checked, survarium is still up and running lol

[supple pebble]

Game studios dont really know how to keep their operations lean and efficient nowadays

[slender trail]

always make sure to aim at crouch level with monolith in close range I guess. I'm pretty sure their AI is literally just: run up to you > crouch > fire

[slender trail]

yeah this is a problem with the gaming industry in general

[supple pebble]

Nothing wrong with being profit driven

[old quest]

Meanwhile, Stardew Valley:

[supple pebble]

Or rather no expectations

prodeeded to mozambique my way through brain scorcher and reached the lever room with 4 minutes to spare
morphine is the goat and so is 30 rounds of 7.62x51 AP

[gritty wasp]

you have the sneak kill setting on?

[supple pebble]

We got cool cinematics and smoke and mirrors

[slender trail]

if gta 6 launches horribly it's genuinely going to be cataclysmic for the AAA gaming industry

[gritty wasp]

i felt that reload at 22 bullets

[supple pebble]

Dumb fucks will still buy it because everyone is buying it

Case in point, fifa

[errant dragon]

nope, like I said Monos are just weird there. Some are "on guard" and shoot on sight while others focus more on pathing it seems

[spice pilot]

that's part of why I always use the supply pack in helldivers, old habbits die hard

[gritty wasp]

i try that and they all aggro and know my exact location

[slender trail]

voting with your wallet? what's that?

[gritty wasp]

it has to be kinda bugged, they still spawning

the aoe one i mean

I don't think brain scorcher ever gets easier lowkey, just the positioning of the monolith in every room is infuriating

I'm looking for my screenshot of the Monolith who had 3 RPGs on him

[livid hazel]

Did they change helmet stats as part of the armor rework?

[rain crow]

Here's a merc in the meantime

[supple pebble]

Tbh, armor rework in 9.5 just felt like everyone is easier to pen ngl

Had good results with 9x19 fmj ripping through people

[rain crow]

IF you think thats bad....

[dapper jewel]

is the REX revolver even worth going for as a pocket sniper when the scope is 45K? kinda worried about the mileage since it only has HP rounds

[rain crow]

Wtf was this guy prepping for

[dapper jewel]

but it sounds so cool

[spice pilot]

turns out RPG guy was the pistolero I killed near the end of this clip, maybe the AI got cleverer and won't use explosives indoors? idk

[rain crow]

3 RPGs, a PKM

A magazine for afterwards I guess

[supple pebble]

Two sets of that for a single pseudogiant

[tropic goblet]

IM BUSSIN!!!

[rain crow]

pseudogiants suck

I HATE THEM

[spice pilot]

congraturation
a winrar is you

[errant dragon]

nah, better off just taking potshots with irons than buying a scope for it.

Plus .357 is really only effective againsts stalker with next to no armor, it's more of a mutant round

[gaunt shuttle]

think i got a bugged fate task, found the bodies but the RF wasnt beeping

[livid hazel]

Sniper scope is a meme, but red dot doesn't hurt

[spice pilot]

pseudogiants are the reason my goto has long been the scar, because grenade launcher

[livid hazel]

I thought one was compatible

[dapper jewel]

ye ik, I picked up the winchester lever action as a starter, have the side scope on it, but its fixed magnification

[celest lodge]

how do I access the extra artifact slots beyond 5?

[supple pebble]

What difficulty you play on? I felt like 357 performs fine on medium dif

3 rounds to the chest taking care of most of them

[errant dragon]

Hardest diff

[dapper jewel]

it has enough raw power to kill professionals on one to two headshots at a pretty damn decent range

[supple pebble]

Oh makes sense

[livid hazel]

Even with exohelm?

[supple pebble]

Was tempted to try hardest difficulty but i like my butt intact

[dapper jewel]

only exo I fought i used AP rounds on (from a diff gun)

I mostly use it to kill mutants at long range without worrying atp

[plush zenith]

when you put a 6th one in, there will be an arrow on the right side of the bar

[spice pilot]

I always play on hardest gameplay diff, easiest progression diff, it's good if you like gamma's systems but hate grinding

[gaunt shuttle]

oh nvm it fixed itself

[livid hazel]

Makes sense

I also have a half repaired one, really wanna try it out

poor kitty and poor grok. losing a friend like that is never easy 🙁

[supple pebble]

I skipped over medium armor cause of my light armor being 5kg with 50kg carry capacity

losing a pet is like losing your best friend

shit hurts...

[supple pebble]

And 6 artifact slots when upgraded

[hollow edge]

Is there not only max 5 slots?

[supple pebble]

Some suits with upgrades lets you have 6, only a couple tho

where does the 6th slot even appear on the UI?

i can finally play streets with more than 50 fps now

[noble glen]

F

[rain crow]

EFT inherently doesn't work as a concept because of networking/netcode

[valid kernel]

Tarkov has an AMAZING AI mod. Like the most realistic shit you've ever seen that totally revamps the experience... and Nikita has simply ignored it for years

[rain crow]

Your game has to run PERFECTLY for that entire concept to work

[livid hazel]

That's what I was gonna say. And part of my point about A-Life and HL2 is it takes a fucking super computer to run SAIN at stable frames, and it still can feel inferior to older systems

[rain crow]

Hence if they just switched to a PvE experience, you solve the issues

[valid kernel]

BSG is run by morons that self sabotage at every opportunity

[noble glen]

nikita didnt ignore it, it simply would explode the servers if he put that in

use a debug mod in SPT and look at the spikes on CPU usage after putting SAIN in.

[rain crow]

I liked that whole "1.0"

1.0 my ass

[noble glen]

it would absolutely melt the servers

[noble glen]

1.0 with 10 year old bugs still in

[shy bramble]

You mean, scam at every opportunity xd

[valid kernel]

Not like base tarkov is doing any better. I had to set a 100gb pagefile just to stop crashing every raid

With 32 gb of fucking ram

[rain crow]

Don't forget about the systems that were still blanked out a day before launch

[spice pilot]

if those are expert tools I'm laffin

[valid kernel]

I pplayed most of my 1000 hours with 16

[noble glen]

if they made some proper effort to update to the latest version that runs way better.

[rain crow]

That never got added...

Screw all that though

[split vapor]

Is it cheaper to buy the parts to make a weapon cleaning kit or to just buy it

[rain crow]

If Anomaly got multiplayer

[noble glen]

those are basic tools 😄

[rain crow]

I'd much rather play that

[noble glen]

anomaly has multiplayer no ?

[rain crow]

no?

[noble glen]

no modpacks but the basegame has it

[valid kernel]

I have no idea what sort of nightmare XRAY scripting is. But my dream mod for GAMMA would be sopmething that adds a bunch of the side quests from the main games

[noble glen]

XRmp or something like that

[supple pebble]

Theres xrMPE

[hollow prawn]

It’s an arena-style mp

[noble glen]

this.

[hollow prawn]

Oh, there’s another one?

[rain crow]

Thats only for CoP at the moment

I was playing it last night

[valid kernel]

Like the bloodsucker den or the vampire doctor or the sniper

[noble glen]

oooooh, its CoP

[rain crow]

It still lacks the sandbox of Anomaly

[noble glen]

still pretty good tho

[valid kernel]

GAMMA is great, but it does feel like it's lacking handmade content after awhile

[supple pebble]

Depends on your standing with traders and such, but generally cheaper to craft if you loot a lot of trash

[noble glen]

grok is working on that for 1.0

which is not gonna be a hot steaming pile of shit like tarkov's 1.0

[rain crow]

Yeah if they could just translate the Anomaly gameplay over, it would kill so many games

Especially Stalker 2

Dig a hole and toss it down

[valid kernel]

If I could roll tarkov back to how it was summer of 2021 I would in a heartbeat

[rain crow]

Bury it

[supple pebble]

I mean xrMPE is basically its own engine rewrite

[valid kernel]

That was the peak

[noble glen]

one thing i hope we get soon is Klean's Stalker server for DayZ

[rain crow]

It peaked during Covid tbh

They ran out of development ideas tbh

[supple pebble]

You're not getting multiplayer in anomaly without xray64 being completely rebuilt

[rain crow]

Like they didnt know where to take the game

[gilded tundra]

4 spartans dropped but not a single shitty exoskeleton or psuedoexo

[valid kernel]

No dumbass flea market restrictions, none of this found in raid garbage

[noble glen]

some madman will do it eventually

[valid kernel]

Just pure, free, fun

[rain crow]

Sounds like something they should get on for Stalker 2

[noble glen]

or it will be done when we get agi

[rain crow]

I know they promised a PvP mode

But like

I dont want that shit

Give me co-op

[noble glen]

and stalker 2 is way easier to make a multiplayer mode since its on Unreal

[valid kernel]

I used to play tarkov like a stock echange more than a shooter. Manipulating markets, buying low, selling high. It was a blast

[rain crow]

But it is something that players want, and GSC hates the players

[errant dragon]

implementing mp into gamma sounds like aids to do. imagine the jank of mixing 500+ mods and mp, not to mention x-ray itself

[desert roost]

I spent way too long looking at my list of artifacts and crafting new ones trying to get something useful only to not really improve on what I had before, so many downsides now

[rain crow]

Unreal Engine 5 is a blessing and curse

[noble glen]

ehh, i think its just a hassle to build things for multiplayer

[supple pebble]

Most of what makes the modding extensible in gamma and anomaly is in part due to the fact its singleplayer

[noble glen]

which is why they didnt

[last gulch]

hey do u guys know what mod had the car 15

[supple pebble]

When you start working with net code all that goes out the window

[noble glen]

spt has a multiplayer mod that works with all other mods so...

[rain crow]

But they said they want to add a PvP mode, so it IS possible

Just swap that shit out

[last gulch]

i did the hotfix update and forsome reason i losted my car 15 and a svu

[supple pebble]

Yeah but thats unity

[last gulch]

assuming its an updated version

[rain crow]

This is precisely why the PvP in Tarkov doesn't work

[noble glen]

you dont have to sync missions, waypoints, mutant spawns and all that shit in a pvp mode

[rain crow]

Things can be inherently unfair in networking

[noble glen]

so its way easier to do

[rain crow]

So Tarkov as a concept wont work for like another 20 years

When netcode hopefully gets figured out

[supple pebble]

Tbh the main thing that hooked me onto gamma from tarkov is the fact the lack of netcode makes the whole game way more responsive

[desert roost]

Stalker pvp but it's just a server full of mono griefers

[supple pebble]

The instant feedback of gunshots

[noble glen]

yes, what makes it basically impossible on anomaly is the engine, otherwise we would already have coop.

[split vapor]

Im torn between repairing three pistols. I have the sr-1mp, the hk usp, and the lar grizzly win mag.

[rain crow]

You should go watch some desync videos of people dying around corners

[supple pebble]

But you swap the engine then the charm gamma has is gone

[rain crow]

thats some bullshit in a game that could waste your time for 40 minutes

Thats why Tarkov doesnt even work as a concept

the tech hasnt caught up

[errant dragon]

say what you want about .45, but usp is just

[noble glen]

have you tried SPT vanilla ? its like playing another game, cause scavs dont tank 5 headshots, bosses die way faster, no getting shot behind walls and whatnot.

[valid silo]

just need a shak for tskibbidy soo loadout

[supple pebble]

Was a pvp sweat so didnt interest me too much

I kinda find the whole point of tarkov is the feeling of shitting on other people trying to survive

In a multiplayer economy

[rain crow]

Least toxic tarkov player

[desert roost]

I missed having underbarrel grenade launcher, shit's too op

[rain crow]

the streamer bait of the game as well destroyed the community

[split vapor]

I wish I could use the big blocky lam </3

[desert roost]

Nice wall you're hiding behind there, would be a shame if a grenade flew into the room

[rain crow]

the average person would have a good time, and then a streamer would complain

[supple pebble]

I graduated from that life (im joking I got employed so the goat got washed)

[errant dragon]

it has a laser on it already tho

[supple pebble]

Lowkey streamers are 95% of the time horrible people

[rain crow]

Gigabeef is a nice guy, but pushes meta bullshit on people

[harsh nacelle]

damn i forgot to save my user ltx file and mo2 profile before updating

[supple pebble]

They play into a personality of being nice and cool but some of the worst people inside

[errant dragon]

lesfuckinggoooooo

my first ever mono blade drop

[celest sparrow]

2 ATG suppressors

[supple pebble]

Gigabeef is just a normie trying to make his mark in numbers instead of skill
